The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala: Secrets of the Ancient World, The Himalayan Journals by M.G. Hawking

About The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala: Secrets of the Ancient World, The Himalayan Journals by M.G. Hawking

Free on Amazon January 19th thru January 21st. Discover the Unknown Kingdom. You are invited to take an unprecedented journey into a fabled world to explore ancient knowledge virtually unknown to the modern world. Sweeping in an immense arc across South Asia is the Great Himalayan Range, an uninterrupted 1,500 mile crescent of mountains with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more. Extending from Kashmir’s 26,600 foot Naga Parbat through Tibet’s 25,445 foot Namcha Barwa, the vast frozen fortress of the Himalaya cradles the most isolated areas of Earth’s landmass. Yawning gorges as deep as 16,000 feet and ice peaks towering over five miles high shelter remote, lushly forested valleys.
For thousands of years, the largely inaccessible inner portion of this wilderness has been known in esoteric literature as the Great White Island, and has inspired countless stories and legends that it conceals a kingdom of great masters possessed of transcendent wisdom and power.
Years ago, on an extended trek into the remote inner range of the Himalaya, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small valley deep in the wilderness. Surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful village, a mysterious realm referred to by its residents as Siddhalaya. Siddha, in Sanskrit, denotes a high adept or master; alaya means the abode of—for Siddhalaya is said to be the ‘Kingdom of the Masters.’
Hawking’s discovery marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary encounters and experiences. In that isolated community he had the privilege of meeting a number of remarkable men and women—introduced to him as ‘masters’ and ‘sages’—possessed of wisdom, knowledge and power virtually unknown in the Western world.
Transcribed directly from the journals and field notes Hawking recorded of his encounters with these sages, this book contains detailed narratives of his experiences and conversations, providing detailed, first-hand accounts of their esoteric knowledge and power. As entertaining as it is richly enlightening, this is an incomparable read for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking expanded knowledge and personal power. A Kindle Unlimited Book, e-reader page count 320. For more information, please see the Amazon description and ‘Look Inside’ feature. Thank you.

No No Square By Jai’Colby’E Kirvin

About No No Square By Jai’Colby’E Kirvin

Single father creates a book to educate children on saying no when people want to touch them inappropriately.

No No Square was written to assist parents and guardians in the tough topic of educating young children on boundaries, while also helping to create a safe space for children to always tell an adult when this happens to them. It is important to talk to children at an early age about “bad touch” so they can understand not to get taken advantage of. No No Square does this by using three common examples in a child-friendly way that is easy to understand, which will aid children to recognize when it’s important to say no if strangers, other children, and family members want to touch them inappropriately.

The Study-book of Mediæval Architecture and Art

About The Study-book of Mediæval Architecture and Art

The Study-book of Mediæval Architecture and Art: Being a Series of Working Drawings of the Principal Monuments of the Middle Ages : Whereof the Plans, Sections, and Details are Drawn to Uniform Scales
Volume 1-2

This is a reproduction of an original work published in 1868 by Henry Sotheran and co.
Reproduced from the original four 1868 volumes, this Medieval masterwork contains over 400 plates, representing more than 80 churches, covering a wider range than any publication of it’s day.

Written at the height of the English Gothic Revival period, King aims to represent the ancient edifices of the Middle Ages in an abounding collection of accurate and attractive drawings that any student around the world can study the ancient grandeur of the Medieval period.

The treasure-trove of Gothic and Romanesque architecture is a rare and refreshing find among the saturated supply of Greco-Roman treatises from King’s contemporaries in his age. This underrated classic reintroduced a Christian style of building which had been lost for centuries but saw a growing popularity as it served to balance the secular monotony of King’s day.
